Do we really want a world without physical money, a world without cash? It's easy to pay in 2026, a simple tap of your phone or card and you can buy a coffee. It's easy, isn't it? But in a world full of digital payments, millions of people are choosing paper money again. Why? In today's podcast, we'll explore the idea of a "cashless", C-A-S-H-L-E-S-S, society.

We'll look at the "digital wallet", the app on your phone that stores your cards. And we'll ask why the verb "to budget", B-U-D-G-E-T, is helping to bring cash back. We'll explore the worries of people who feel left behind by technology, and the simple pleasure of dropping coins in a busker's hat. We'll also think about privacy, because money is not just about spending.
